Hmmm...Medallion Gold Fretless...who would do such a crazy thing...
Of course I am gonna eventually end up with a Black Bongo likely HS config. Then we would have close to the same pair

That fretless Bongo must sound awesome! The Teal one from the OH gave me the idea of getting a FL back into the fold again...having only heard it through the headphones!smallequestrian said:Hmmm...Medallion Gold Fretless...who would do such a crazy thing...

Does anybody else have MG or DG finish bass pic's they can post here? The more references, the better!

Here's my DG 5HH before it had the White Ice p/g changed to Tort.

Don't know if you saw these, but I posted more pics of mine late yesterday afternoon...shamus63 said:

There's something you should know about those photos (and photos of DG in general)....if you let the camera decide on the white balance (esp. with a tort guard), it tends to come out warmer and redder than if you manually calibrate the camera. The clue is in the background...I photographed my bass against black velvet, and you can clearly see reddish highlights on most of the shots.
One of the shots in that album (it's clearly identified) has been calibrated, more or less.
DG isn't as hard to photograph as some of the finishes, but so many of these things look much better in person than they do in pictures....

The Desert Gold photographs well, no matter what the camera or PhotoShop does to the picture. There was a B5 DG at GC in SF when I first went shopping for the Bongo, and even in flourescent lighting, it kicked as$!
I see that the polls went from 2:1 (DG > MG) to near neck-and-neck...might be a tight race here.
Do not make me the tie-breaker!

I wish I could find one (MG) locally, so I could see what they really look like.

Even though I have DG, I voted for MG because it's not a common a color on the Bongo.

Exactly why I voted for MG. Figure there is enough DG to go around. Good to get some other colors in the spotlight.
